Fire Door Inspections in Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire: questions
Will the inspection tell me whether a door is a genuine fire door?
It records the evidence available: labels, plugs, glazing marks, hardware markings and construction. Where there is no evidence of a fire rating, the report says so, so the fire risk assessor can decide what to do.
What happens if a door fails?
The report lists exactly which components failed and why. Each item is priced separately, so you can approve the urgent fixes first and plan the rest.
Does regulation 10 apply in Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire?
No. Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.
Do you work in occupied buildings in Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
